I want to try this to separate out essentiol oils from mint, rose petals,or lavendar without heat. Has anyone tried this, and how pure is extract?

Ah, well this would be great to get the pure pollen out first if you did it dry... if you wanted to go through water, well water might not capture enough of the oils without heat... you really may want to use some type of alcohol extraction

Essential oil is a much more concentrated version of this extract. I sometimes use a few drops of the oil in juice before bed. The extract is diluted already, and you can put it directly in your mouth without a carrier liquid. Fragrance oil is used for fragrance, essential oil is used for medicinal purposes (though you can use most for scent too, in small, diluted, quantities). For example, chamomile extract smells and tastes like the flower, but the essential oil smells nothing like the flower (it smells vile, actually), bc it's very concentrated. So basically, oil is more cost effective, but extract is water soluble and ready to use. Hope that helps! Essential oil is a much more concentrated version of this extract.

I second this question. In the middle east, neroli flower essential oil is used in pastries/desserts. Super hard to obtain here. Only get the 'water,' which is a sad replacement.

Not essential oil. There are two ingredients, rose WATER, then the other that is making me raise an eyebrow, "fragrance(Natural Rose)" I cannot tell you for sure, but it kind of makes me want to contact the company to ask. I never thought about that before, and I have fairly sensitive skin, yet have never broken out from this product. I'm sorry I couldn't have been of more help!

"An exclusive proprietary blend of 100% natural essential oils and a hint of menthol". I do not know. Mrsh the combination of skin, hair, blades, oil/soap makes the process one of experimentation. What works for me may not work for you and vice-verse. Some users mix it with shaving soap. The good thing is that it's cheap and in the worst of the cases you can use it as an aftershave which BTW is pretty good.

Absolutely not. The oil has most likely gone rancid. Personally, I would not use it. I would describe the smell as neutral although I expected it to smell like the roses from which it was extracted...neveretheless, it is neither floral smelling nor like roses.

No, the oil comes out in a cool mist, just like an ultrasonic humidifier. One benefit to this is that there's no warm-up time: aromatherapeutic misting begins immediately. I'm also told that the therapeutic compounds in essential oils are volatile, and that misting them cold (as opposed to heating) maximizes their benefit.

The Helichrysm that you are questioning I haven't tried I don't believe but as long as they profess to be 100% essential oil and not a blend it would depend on the quality of the flowers and distilling process I imagine. I have bought and used probably a quart over the past year for neuropathic pain and arthritis mixed with several other essential oils that have worked so well for me. If you need any more information write to me at lk5056@frontier.com if you wish. This oil I may have purchased and used, it looks familiar but I found a place I order all great oils from recently.

Hello I'm really unsure some peppermint oils are food grade which mean it used to flavor foods,tea's ect. If you are using your oil for your hair then make sure you use 100% oil not food grade! But if ingesting it I would use food grade because its suppose to be edible as the 100% is suppose to be to strong I hoped this helped!

Have not tried this unit. Megahome makes another unit specially designed for essential oils. It has a lower heat.

Hi, Paul. I bought this last year for my brother for Christmas because he complained of back aches. The eucalyptus and lavender are located inside a white sack that sits inside the soft outer cover (what you see for the product picture). You have to heat the whole white sack in the microwave and then insert it into the outer cover. To my knowledge, you cannot open the white sack, only the outer shell to remove the white sack insert. I do not know the process of adding your own oils, but I don't know how well the product would absorb/tolerate it (does not appear to be a way to add it inside). I have hand and foot warmers that work the same as this back warmer and as they get warn out over time, I have found it best to replace them. I don't know for this particular product, but the sack you heat up in my hand and feet warmers start to yellow and brown after many uses in addition to the fragrance waning, though they continue to get warm. I hope this knowledge helps at least some. Sorry, if it's not useful. :(

I cannot say for certain but I believe it probably is pure. I do love it and I have tried many different oils. I always try to get them from where they are locally processed to better insure the quality and expertise of extraction and freshness.

I have 2 ZAQ diffusers and one Country Kitchen Ceramic Kettle Stove Oven Oil Warmer. These Items were purchased on Amazon. They all work very well and that is how I use the fragrance oil. The rose petal fragrance is very good reminds me of old fashion rose scent from my grandma garden. The Lilac fragrance is one of my favorites as well. Hope this answers your questions. Best Regards to you.

it certainly is....these items are concentrates and not meant to taste out of the bottle. any extract will provide the same experience. I would suggest using it in your baked goods in the amt suggested and you will most certainly be more pleased.

I don't know that brand, but if it's an oil or perfume, I think it will work perfectly. I used vanilla extract one day as an experiment and it worked fine.

I am a doTERRA wellness advocate:) We do not suggest purchasing these oils through Amazon. You can never be sure that the oils are still pure. Many things can happen to them. When buying through a doTERRA advocate, if the bottle arrives open or has leaked some product doTERRA sends you a new one. I was tempted to save money at first by purchasing from elsewhere but not anymore. If I can help you in any way, please let me know. P.S. You may ask why I am in Amazon looking at these oils? Popped up on my Facebook page and I just had to take a look:) Happy oiling
